Not all American's pronounce it with that dialect, but it is quite common in my area (NY, NJ, CT - Tri-state area) and in Southern dialects. Slower speakers however will pronounce the T.
Some that come to mind are Smitten, Britain, glutton, beaten, moisten, flatten, smarten. I'm sure there's a lot more but that's all I can think of.

Hi Eduardo:
There is a book available which classifies many words with examples according to the prefix, suffix, or root.
It is titled, "The ABC's and All Their Tricks". It will be a handy reference if you want to study words this way with their common sound or structure.---Warm Regards, Bruce
